Jeff Bourns

Jeff Bourns (born August 18, 1981) is an American amputee tennis player who helped pioneer the growth and development of adaptive standing tennis. Bourns was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia in 1981 with a congenital birth defect to his right leg, known as Tibial Hemimelia. As a result his leg was amputated below the knee when he was two years old. He is the first person in American history to represent the United States of America competing in International adaptive standing tennis tournaments.
